Hi, I'm trying to create a browser that will disable pop up
screens, does any one have any idea or information to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Sounds like a big request... exactly how much of the codiing are you doing yourself? Are you going as far as to created you own DOM? that's where you'd have control... -gerrygerry

Take a look at

This is a free zapper which you can use in the meantime. Also The Mozilla browser has this feature and I believe the source code is available though I think it is written in Perl. Regards from Bluewater on the Great Barrier Reef.

Are you trying to write your own browser (like Netscape Navigattor or IE or Opera)?

I dont really understand where you are going with this... its a huge project to write your own browser, especially if you want to process javascript (along with suppression of things like popups).

Are you making your own browser and html/javascript "processor", or are you working to create some sort of a plug-in, or, are you working to create an app that uses IE's foundation to display webpages? Javascript is used for popups - do you just want to suppress js?

Please elaborate -gerrygerry

I am using IE as a foundation

I am working on this now using C++Builder5. Which has on the Components Internet tab a TCppWebBrowser Component which has a OnNewWindow Event where you can stop all popups including new windows.

If you are using C++Builder3 or 4 you can install from menu Components/Install Activex Control.

choose Microsoft Internet Controls from the list then click on install.

For help on control go to:

What I'm working on now is how to filter out popup adds of course. And have decided to make a component from TCppWebBRowser and add a OnPopup Event to handle this.

are you still interested or if you have found some answers please let me know.
